Что следует знать покупателям
Desmodue Valve Service
The ST4S requires Ducati's desmodromic valve adjustments every 7,500 miles — a labor-intensive service that can cost $600–$1,200 at a dealer. Always verify service history before buying, as skipped intervals can cause serious engine damage.
Heat & Electrical Gremlins
The ST4S runs notoriously hot at low speeds, and older models are prone to electrical issues including failing rectifier/regulators that can fry the battery. Budget for a regulator upgrade if the bike hasn't already had one.
Stable Resale Value
The ST4S holds its value reasonably well among sport-touring Ducatis due to its rare 996 Superbike-derived engine and limited production numbers. A well-maintained example remains desirable to enthusiasts, making it a smarter long-term buy than most competitors.
Поколения и характеристики по годам
Двигатель Desmoquattro объемом 996 куб. см, 117 л.с., трубчатая стальная решетчатая рама, подвеска Showa, тормоза Brembo, фокус на спортивном туризме.
"Итальянский спорттурист забыл сделать это практично."
Модель 996 Desmoquattro развивает мощную скорость с 4000 оборотов в минуту и даже вывает более 7000. Это двигатель, который заставляет вас прощать все остальное, а простить его можно за многое. Эргономика — это настоящий компромисс: на длинной дистанции он лучше, чем у 916, но после 300 км на запястьях начинается тихий протест, который невозможно обойти стороной. Интервалы между техобслуживанием Desmo составят 600—900 евро за каждые 15 000 км, и за системой охлаждения нужно следить, потому что в условиях медленного движения эти велосипеды перегреваются — не опасно, но и неудобно. Но когда дорога открывается, в шпалерной раме и подвеске Showa царит приятная и устоявшаяся уверенность, создающая ощущение, будто вы позаимствовали что-то у более серьезной машины.

Отзыв покупателя б/у
"Buy with full history or walk away immediately."
$5,000-$9,500 usedThe ST4S is the Sport Touring Ducati that actually makes sense — a 996-derived Testastretta motor stuffed into a practical fairing with proper luggage. It pulls hard from 4,000rpm and absolutely screams past seven grand. On a good B-road this thing is intoxicating, planted and precise without the aggression of a pure sportbike. It genuinely does the miles too, comfortable enough for four-hour stints if you've set the suspension properly. Here's the reality check though: these bikes are maintenance-intensive and unforgiving of neglect. Desmo valve services every 7,500 miles aren't optional, they're survival. Budget $600-900 per service minimum. Check the service history obsessively — a skipped service could mean bent valves. Coolant hoses, timing belts, and the notorious dry clutch chatter all need attention. Electrical gremlins love these things. Buy a well-documented example from someone who clearly cared, and you'll own one of the most characterful sport-tourers ever built. Buy a cheap one with mystery history and you're funding someone else's expensive problems.
